lol this is a 80watt rms :S

bass hits hard :S ok.....

If you acually invested money into spekers ? most highend supwoofers are 125+ at the lowest.

The best thing to do is hook car subs, and mids, to amp, then input sound to that.

If you want to stick 500$ subs that if they were home, would be 1500+

Isn't car audio 4 ohm, while home audio 8 ohms.

I know some home audio amps can handle down to 2 ohm.
If you use 4 ohm speakers on an amp that can not handle less than 8 ohms, you could damage the amp.
